Inside a Hypocritical Faker

I had just walked out of my room, which had my new toys laying on the floor, to find that no one was up stairs, and there was silence. Being 6, I knew nothing of what was happening down stairs. I walked down the stairs, hearing my foot fall being muffled by the carpeted stairs. I reached the bottom to see a small puddle of blood. I felt fear gripping the inside of my tiny body. I knew that blood meant that someone was hurt, that they had a boo-boo. I carefully stepped over the puddle, fallowing the tiny little splots of blood leading to the kitchen. I could faintly hear what sounded to be muffled cries. I peaked my head around to see that my mommy was tied to a chair, tape over her mouth. I looked around on the ground near her, and seen my daddy and my older brother, James on the ground, sleeping. I had moved again, putting my head on the wall next to me, when my mommy's head turned and looked at me. I seen that she was scared, and happy to see me. I opened my mouth to call out to her, to ask her what was wrong, but I heard footsteps coming back towards us, coming from the living room. I seen panic take over her face, and she tossed her head back wards almost to say for me to go back to my room. I pulled myself back, next to the wall.

"Well, where is she," A deep voice asked. Sounded like a man.

I heard a noise then my mommy's voice. "I told you I don't know WHO you are talking about!" Then there was the sound of a hard slap, and a gasp.

"You know who I mean. Raven, or as you like to call her Lilly. Since you took her away from me. I already took your husband and son. Now tell me where she is, and you live, don't, you die."

I felt the hairs on my arms standing up. This was bad, a no-no. I knew this. I was about to stick my head back around to see what was going on when I heard my mommy scream, "RUN LILLY! RUN TO THE NEIGHBORS!!!! DON'T TURN AROUND!! DON'T STOP!!!" I stood still for a split second before my mind registered what she had said and my feet listened. I heard the other guy say some bad words, then an ear piercing scream. I felt a hand grab me and pulled me back. "YOU! This is all your fault," the man with the deep voice, and piercing blue eyes growled. I screamed then kicked his leg, as hard a I could. he let go of me and I ran to the house across the road.

I told them my mommy, daddy, and brother were sleeping on the floor, that there was bloo, that someone had a bad boo-boo, that there is a man coming after me, that I had another name, Raven.
